Starfield Is 'Pretty Awesome' Says Actor Rumoured To Feature In The Xbox RPG

DISCLAIMER: Following is an entirely subjective opinion, this is not a slander against Xbox as a brand or the people themselves who work at Bethesda, calm the keyboards.

Hmm a random actor rumored to be in the game confirming that a developer yet to release a good game might finally release their first one?

I doubt it.

@ShadowofTwilight22 Bethesda has made plenty of good games over the years but unfortunately do have plenty of bugs.

Hopefully Microsoft will help them with some proper quality assurance but only time will tell.

Starfield is easily the game I'm looking forward to the most this year.

@ShadowofTwilight22 okay wait, Fallout 4 and Skyrim are in your opinion "bad games" so even though they built Creation Engine 2 from scratch and this is the first game using it, it will more than likely be bad?

@magicismoney I think they're garbage, that's correct.

I'll wait til I see it before getting too excited. Bethesda has always been hit and miss with me for as long as I remember. The last Bethesda proper game I enjoyed was Skyrim and that was ages ago so they definitely got something to prove with Starfield.
Hoping for the best though.

Bethesda hasn’t released any good games, lol. Push Square just was raving a few days ago about Prey. There’s been plenty of great Bethesda games. Some may release with more bugs than they should be but they certainly were still well regarded games.

I may be in the minority here but I'm not that excited for starfield ,I'll most likely play it but I'm not foaming at the mouth for it like most ppl I'd much prefer a dishonoured sequal /game

And no I'm not saying that it's gonna b rubbish I hope it is as amazing as everyone expects it to be I just have different tastes

Bethesdas recent track record is not so good so I'm not getting too hyped for this till we see some gameplay and it's confirmed not to be a buggy mess at launch like so many of their games in the past.

I really enjoy Bethesda games for someone to say they haven't released any good games is hyperbolic and looking to start an argument. Do they have bugs yes they do are some of the bugs hysterical yes they are but no good games is silly.

@Martsmall dishonored is a lot of fun I don't think all their games have to be for everyone. I am stoked for starfield but another Dishonored or rage would be great too.

@VisitingComet1 I mean, I clearly stated it's a subjective opinion.

I feel like Bethesda has released nothing but poorly optimised buggy garbage and nothing else.

I played Fallout 3 on PC and it'd crash non-stop when I went to leave the bunker. I did get out eventually but it was 6 years ago and I can't for the life of me remember how I fixed it.

If people like their games, that's great and more power to them.

I on the other hand think their games are nothing but poorly made buggy garbage and I'm standing by that.

@VisitingComet1 mostly all games have bugs it part and parcel with buying games now it's expected
Achivements for me being the biggest one for me , the amount of games I've purchased and have to wait for a patch to get the last few achievements is annoying and some don't even get fixed grrrrrrrr

@awp69 Bethesda has released some good games, for me the evil within, doom, prey and wolfenstein, Rage and Dishonoured games have been the best so far. For some reason though the team behind elder scrolls and fallout always release a buggy mess and just something about them that just bores me after 20-30 hours, I think for elder scrolls it's the combat, if skyrim was the same game but without the bugs and a combat similar to dragons dogma or elden ring then I would of liked it.

Hopefully though starfield doesn't feel like an elder scrolls or fallout game. I'm kinda going for a mass effect style game but with an open world or a game that's like no man's sky but with a proper story and side quests

If you are a real gamer no matter what console or consoles you own.
You want this game to be AAA massive and top end.
Enough said really 😊

@awp69 Prey was made by Arkane, my original opinion stands.

@Dezzy70 I remember back when I was a kid and if a game was exclusive to one console, we just played it on that console. It wasn't even something we thought about otherwise. Those were the days.

@SplooshDmg Me and my next door neighbour had the systems that the other lacked so we were never faced with console wars as kids.

I used to go play her PSOne while she in turn would come play some SEGA Saturn and N64.

Miss those days.

@ShadowofTwilight22 And published under the Bethesda umbrella.

@awp69 but Bethesda did not make the game, my opinion still stands.

@ShadowofTwilight22 Yep. I was playing Morrowind on Xbox, Smash Bros on Gamecube, Final Fantasy on PS, and Diablo on PC. All side by side in harmony. Never even gave a passing thought to one of those devices being on the wrong side. This crap has just gotten weird lately. Lol

@ShadowofTwilight22 “ Arkane Studios is a video games developer, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bethesda Softworks American game publisher.”

It’s literally a subsidiary of Bethesda. But whatever. Even listed on their site as one of their studios.

https://bethesda.net/en/studios

@SplooshDmg I never had an OG Xbox as a kid but I must've annoyed my dad something fierce.

Apparently a 9 year old boy shouldn't be playing games like Dead or Alive 3 cause that was the game that made my mum not let my dad get me one for.

@awp69 but again, Bethesda themselves did not make the game.

Am I to praise them for being a competent publisher but a terrible developer or something?

@ShadowofTwilight22 I had grossly irresponsible parents. I didn't have just Dead or Alive 3, I had Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball. It was from that day on, I knew the weeb life was for me. Lol

I think you just have to like Bethesda Game Studios games. They're just their own thing entirely. I'd take even the somewhat lesser Fallout 4 over most any AAA game today. Then FO76 was an entirely new studio and not the core team, so really, imo the main studio still has yet to make anything resembling a bad game.

@SplooshDmg haha you're so lucky man. I showed my mum Ryu and Hayate instead and she wouldn't budge cause of Kasumi kicking high.

I finally got DoA4 with my Xbox 360 though!

@ShadowofTwilight22 you're entitled to your opinion, but if you think Skyrim is a bad game, you're an outlier. It's a very well beloved videogame, which is widely played to this date.
Bethesda does not need to prove for most people that they can do great RPGs. In fact, they're widely considered one of the very best developers of Western RPGs.

@Magabro I'm cool with that. I tried it on PC and I thought it was total garbage.

Also after 76, they absolutely have a lot to prove.

@ShadowofTwilight22 which is totally cool. I think Mass Effect is garbage and don't understand the hype at all, but I'm totally aware that I am the outlier in this case. To each their own.

@Magabro Never actually played that but it's on my list, heard amazing things and it sounds up my alley. Maybe one day I'll play it but I'm far more of a JRPG guy.

I REALLY enjoyed Fallout 3 and played the heck out of (mostly the same) Fallout 4...they were tremendously buggy, ugly, unstable pieces of junk, lol.

I've wanted "Skyrim in space" for a while and am excited for Starfield but Bethesda's flagship games could use a dramatic increase in quality control.

@SplooshDmg
Remember those days as well
With the Commodore 64 and Spectrum 48k
Atari and colleco system
sega master system and nes.
Though I do remember the beginning of the console wars or should I say computer wars even in the 80s when at school.

So is he saying there won't be bugs then I doubt that because skyrims 10 years old & still full of bugs

@Would_you_kindly all big games of this size will have bugs, hopefully not ground breaking and they get patched like Horizon Forbidden West. But this game will be a massive success for Xbox and just the start of how many great western RPGS they have coming to the Series Consoles and PC.

I'm hoping for a little more than "pretty awesome"

I'm also not afraid to say that I hope this game makes me a "no lifer" just as Morrowind, Skyrim and Fallout 3 did to me

@Rural-Bandit yeah but like I said skyrims 10 years old has just got an anniversary edition & is still littered with bugs it's not like it's just released

@Would_you_kindly Just cause one thing is something don’t mean the other is. I don’t go by those logics, i go by the eye test.
When this game launches and i play it, i will judge it off of that and not what a 10 year old game on different tech and a different engine is doing.

A lot of people here seem to be confusing the games of Bethesda as publisher and Bethesda as developer… Bethesda published games are generally less buggy…but also generally less ambitious in scope. And one thing starfield will be is ambitious in scope. I don’t think anyone will go into it expecting no bugs day 1.
But of course a certain section of the gaming community on Twitter are eagerly salvaging to savage it because they can’t play it… they can’t help but show their hand early now that it’s sank in it’s not coming to PlayStation.
I anticipate the reaction from them over the 2 weeks that follow starfields release to be equal measures hilarious and depressing. The only thing surer is that this game will have bugs.

@ShadowofTwilight22 none of Bethesda's games have been good? Really?

Bethesda will launch their game in November. It will have bugs. It will also probably be excellent. People whining about a game that hasn't released nor even been shown in action is just...weird.

@armondo36 yep, I think every single one has been total garbage.

These are the games that the core team of guys and gals made at Bethesda the last 20 years (fallout 76 was not made by the core team) and metacritic score

fallout 3 90-93
fallout 4 84-88
elderscrolls III morrowind 82-89
elderscrolls IV oblivion 93-94
elderscrolls V skyrim 92-96

So their pedigree is pretty good.
If you like those style of games, and I do, you have every right to have some confidence in Starfield imho.
